I found this gown in the first bridal shop we went to. It was on sale and it fit me perfectly. I was married 1 week later!

I’m keeping my dress. Maybe one day it will find another happy bride that I would not mind passing it on to. In a mean time it’s mine.

I only hope to manage to keep my proportions so that I can have fun photos like this in another 10, 20… years…

Thanks for the life – I treasure it.

I’ve been given a chance to open up a little about my very important self by a lovely Kyoko .

1. I have two kids, but still would like one more.

2. I’m 5.9 feet tall and I could count on my fingers how many times I’ve worn high heels so far.

3. I’m not too much into cooking these days, but give me a reason to bake… For eating what’s baked I never need a reason, just a will to stop

4. I’ve sown a proper fully lined winter coat at the age of 17 and a long evening dress at 19, both entirely by hand. I’ve been told it looked really god. I would still wear it if I would have it and would still fit in it… eh.

5. Having a choice of spending an afternoon in a spa, being pampered or to buy something that lasts – so far I haven’t doubted – I’ll buy a chair over 2 hours of full body massage. The only exception is food It doesn’t last, but I’ll not say ‘no’ to a good treat.

6. I often have at least a couple of books that I’ve started reading and will choose one depending on what mood I’m in to. Usually it’s either uplifting fiction or medical books. I’m obsessed with natural health topics

7. If I would have a choice to go back in time it would be the 1920s.

So here: today I finally managed to take a couple of photos of my new necklace I’ve finished some time ago.

This is my first trial, based entirely on Maria’s kjo style (which I very much admire!) . I’m not intending to sell my necklace – it’s for personal use, so I sort of borrowed her idea and made something for myself (for a change). This year I’m too optimistic I’m gonna treat myself to more than just this. Thinking big: some clothes, bags… and thinking I’m not exactly realistic…
